The Library Access Initiative by the The New University in Exile Consortium provides stranded endangered scholars with remote access to the electronic materials available via consortium member-institution libraries. Eligible are scholars who hold a Ph.D. or who are in the last year of their Ph.D. with no access to research resources due to armed conflict.

Funding abroad can only be provided if researchers are integrated into Germany’s academic research system. This is the case if, immediately prior to submitting a proposal, they have worked as a researcher in Germany for a continuous period of at least three years during their doctoral and/or postdoctoral phase. If researchers are already based abroad, funding can be provided abroad if they have completed the majority of their schooling and higher education in Germany and, as of proposal time, have not spent more than three years abroad for research purposes after completing their doctorate in Germany or abroad. Furthermore, they must not have worked longer than one year at the host institution selected for the Walter Benjamin fellowship as of proposal time.

The American Academy for Jewish Research, the New York Public Library, and the Center for Jewish Studies at Fordham University invite applications for fellowships from scholars affected by the current war in Ukraine. Funding is primarily available for scholars in Jewish studies from any area of research, while additional funding will support scholars in any field of Slavic Studies. The fellowship’s goal is to provide support and remote access to resources for scholars in need affected by the war.

The fellowships consist of a $5000 stipend, remote access to library resources at Fordham and the NYPL, especially NYPL’s Dorot Jewish Division and the Slavic collection, and networking with faculty members within the AAJR and Fordham University. When feasible, fellows will share their work with the members of the AAJR and learning community of the Center for Jewish Studies at Fordham University and the New York Public Library.
